Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the German Constitution, also known as the "Grundgesetz." It was a significant milestone for the country, which had only recently been established as a federal republic after World War II. The coin's design features the German eagle and the words "25 Jahre Grundgesetz" (25 years of the Constitution) on one side, and the value of 5 Deutsche Mark on the other. It was made of silver (.625) and weighs 11.2 grams.
